Yesterday; forms going up, looks almost ready to pour the raft:

Dec 15 morning, still unloading & installing steel on the raft.

 

[Das Ponto]

Thats a lot of steel!

 

[Baronmine]

Why is it tiered down toward the middle?

Hi @Baronmine -- access to elevator shaft mechanical pits.

 

[Uptown_one]

Started pouring at 7pm Dec 22, 17 hours & 200+ loads later, we have a raft!! Whee!

 

[Daveography]

@Uptown_one Awesome, thanks for sharing your shot of the pour!

 

[MetroEd]

^no pilings?

 

[Daveography]

@MetroEd Probably not needed here, I believe most tower loads on our soils can be sufficiently handled with rafts.

Tarps covering the newly poured raft with heaters keeping everything toasty
